Tasting Notes
Delve into Maker’s Mark Private Selection
Maker's Mark Private Selection offers a new customized take on the Maker’s Mark 46 process and begins with cask-strength Maker's Mark as the base.
Each barrel is specially fitted with ten wood-finishing staves in our limestone cellar and aged for an additional nine weeks.
Where Private Selection separates itself from Maker’s Mark 46 is barrel customization using five different stave types. This results in over 1,001 different possible combinations.
As single-barrel bourbons, all expressions of Maker's Mark Private Selection® are bottled at cask strength – which ranges from 107-114 proof.

Maker’s Sour
The Maker’s Sour is a refined and refreshing blend of sour and sweet. Our Maker’s Sour is inspired by the Whisky Sour, a refreshingly citrus-forward cocktail; 1862’s "The Bartender's Guide" by Jerry Thomas is recognized as one of the first mentions of this classic. This cocktail has had enduring appeal and reaches a new level of refreshing when the sour notes are mixed with Maker’s® sweetness.

Manhattan
Elevate the drier, spicier profile of the cocktail with the toasty, complex, and vanilla and caramel sweetness of Maker’s 46. This simple yet flavorful cocktail is said to have first been served at the Manhattan Club. Like many stories involving whisky, its history is a bit cloudy, but one thing is clear: the Manhattanite who first concocted this cocktail created a classic with true staying power.
